We had the good fortune of connecting with Andrena Phillips and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Andrena, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
The thought process behind starting my business was to be the positive impact, change agent and instrument others need to navigate through life to become the best version of them. I understand the journey of starting over in life with no direction, support system or guidance. Making life changes are scary but rewarding.

What should our readers know about your business?
KeepMovinWithAndrena’s CEO & Founder Andrena Phillips is a dynamic Master Life Strategist (Personal Development), Transformation Speaker & Published Author. In 2015 I launched KMWA with a vision of helping other women regain a sense of control of their lives by overcoming low self esteem, healing from broken places and strategies to move forward in a positive direction gain her back. I am most proud of being able to assist other women to overcome their struggles for her to realize her worth, story and purpose. Taking pain turning into power is the best way to win life’s adversities.

The road to turn my journey into a business was not easy. One thing I know you must be relatable in order to be effective in someone life. What does that entail? Being vulnerable, speaking on your imperfections and realizing you are a work in progress. I realize along the way of birthing my business this was not only for others but also for me to heal. I never want to be in a place in my life where I am not teachable, so along the business I have gain major healing, leaps of faith and comeback story to keep me being effective, excited and empowered as well.

One of the major lessons I learned in business and purpose accept you. All of you. Everything you have in encountered is necessary for you to create a beautiful story. Releasing judgments of others opinions, understanding you are human who makes mistakes and embrace all the twist and turns makes the journey worth it.

I want the world to know the footprints I walk, the life I live out loud is not only transparent, relatable its what makes me who I am. This to me is enough. Accepting your steps makes your life journey worth living.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I am the laugh of the party! I love to live, love and laugh my way through. My best friends know with me they will get an experiences, surprises and roller-coaster fun-loving ride. I love to try new things so each stop would be something new and outside of the box. Restaurants would be one we never tried possible a restaurant from another culture. We would hangout at the latest hot spot (spa, resort, stroll downtown, take a water ride, etc) to sight see, live in the moment with no restrictions.

I don’t meet any strangers wherever I go so this makes for an interesting adventure within itself. I feel you can learn from anyone, anyplace and anytime. We live in the biggest playground there is why not take the melting pot to learn, laugh and just explore. I have met many exciting people from celebrities to the woman at the beauty supply store asking me could I pray for her. I absolutely did.

If you want to live in the moment, meet exciting people, venture to new places everyday do something new. You won’t regret it instead it will add value to your journey.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I want to dedicate my shoutout to every soul that prayed, supported, loved, believed, guided and cheered me along my journey. Because of you I am able to live out my purpose and life with greatness, boldness and a heck of a joyous ride with each of you!
